Naughty Dog - Advice please

I am wondering if anyone one can give me any advice about my 3 and a half year old westie, we have had her since a puppy and she has always been very well behaved and never done her business in the house before, then for no reason this weekend she has done 3 wees in the house including one this morning where she came in from the back garden to wee in the front room, and now my other half has just phoned me to tell me she has done a number 2 in the front room while he was in the room with his back turned and the back door was wide open. She is in her second week of season if that makes any difference. Thanks for your comments in advance. xxx

could be several reasons

1. she may have a urine infection which can cause this and is common during a season2. she may be scenting which is just instinct when she is on heat 3. she may have guts ache sounds daft but dogs gets gut ache with a season just like us girls do when we have a period ... which may be making it painful for her to have her bladder or bowels fullyou can get painkillers from the vet for this 4. she is just attention seeking as she feels a bit down in the dumps ( also common with seasons)

i used to be a dog trainer and am no expert but these things were common with the dogs i had

Get her the snip - your not breeding her are you ?

hey, maybe its just been all this rain? and she basically didnt want too, because of it. My dog refuses to go outside if its like it has been.. i literally have to order her out the door and follow her round till she does something. This involves me being out there too, which doesnt bother me aslong as she does something.

so it may be as simple as that ?

Rubs the dogs nose in its own doo doo after it "goes". Its an old trick but it definitely works. :thumbsup:

Take her out every hour and encourage her to go outside. She may need longer walks than she currently gets. (Take the usual precautions if she is in heat)

If you don't already, have a word for both the liquid (eg hurry up) and the solid (eg busy) versions and use that word to let her know that is what you want her to do. ie tell her 'hurry up' or 'busy'.

When she does perform, use the name for what version she has just done, so that she gets to associate the word with the action, while making a great fuss and praising her.

Don't let her drink after 6.00pm and make sure she goes before she settles for the night.

On no account rub her nose in it that achieves nothing. Instead, make sure you clean areas indoors when she has an accident using a mild disinfectant to completely remove any smell of urine.

Lots of dogs go through a phase like this. Just be patient and she will relearn the correct behaviour.

Hope this helps, best of luck :thumbsup:

I had my dog neutered and it did stop him from doing it in the house until that is my other dog died and he randomly started weeing in the house again. And since my mum had her new carpet in hes weeing again in the house, and she keeps saying shes gonna get rid of him, but she wont cos hes MY dog, and plus she says shed feel awful, i emailed Dog Borstal on BBC for help and to go on their show still waiting for a reply. Cos my dog is really aggressive too, not to family but to strangers....x
